Apple 2017 MacBook Pro with 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, 13-inch, 8GB RAM, 128 SSD Storage - Space Gray (Renewed)

I have had this laptop since Friday, and I love it. The computer itself seems to work perfect most of the time. Seems to match the description as far as cosmetic details and performance. The only complaint that I have with the seller is that the charger that was included with the laptop does not work. However, with it being 2023, over half of the chargers that I have in my house are USB-C already, so it wasn't a problem for me to look through my house and find a charger that fits it. This could be a problem, though, for someone that may not have as many technological devices in their home as I do, because they may not be able to come across the correct type of charger like I was able to. This would result in someone either contacting the seller and requesting a new charger, which would more than likely take about a week to receive in the mail, or they would need to go to their nearest retail store and buy a charger that would fit a MacBook, which, in my experience, are never cheap. If someone did choose to wait on the seller to send them a new charger, this would result in not being able to use the laptop until the charger arrived, because the battery in the laptop definitely will not last more than maybe five hours tops with heavy use, let alone the week that it takes the charger to arrive in the mail. The description item says that the battery would last around 10 hours. One must keep in mind that the amount of use that you get out of any device depends on what you are doing with the device (how much you use it, the processing power needed to run the programs that you are using, gaming, video streaming, etc.). So, I can't really complain about the battery, because I have been using it rather extensively since I received it in the mail. There are some, very few, but a couple of cosmetic dings on the device; None of which affect the way the laptop itself runs and functions. All-in-all, I would say this was a good purchase, and, so far, I am very happy with how it is functioning. If something happens that the computer was to tear up or quit working for whatever reason, I will come back and give an update.Note: I only give the "accuracy" part of the review four stars because I was told that, even though I would not receive an actual Apple brand charger, that I would at least receive one that works for the same purpose as an Apple brand one, which is, of course, charge the computer. It does not charge the computer at all.

I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed with the of this laptop. I had high hopes when I purchased it, expecting it to be in "excellent refurbished condition." Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.Right off the bat, as soon as I opened the laptop, I noticed debris all over the screen and keyboard. It was not a great first impression. To make matters worse, there are several deep scratches and very noticeable dents on three of the four corners of the screen, as well as two on the keyboard.Another letdown is the keys. The "a" and "e" keys have clearly rubbed off from use, which is expected for a used laptop. However, instead of replacing them, they simply put stickers over them.To top it all off, the screen is covered in what appears to be small chips or scratches.I could overlook these cosmetic issues since I purchased a case that covers most of them. Unfortunately, I have my concerns about the performance of it as well.Firstly, the battery has already reached 573 cycles. Service is already being recommended.Furthermore, the generic charger that is included takes an incredibly long time to fully charge the battery and, to make matters worse, it gets excessively hot during the charging process.Lastly, even during regular usage, the laptop itself tends to become very hot after just a couple of minutes.Considering these performance-related issues, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify the purchase of this laptop. The only reason I am hesitating to return it is because I urgently need a laptop for school, and I simply do not have the time to ship it back and wait for a replacement.
